I came back to Kochi for a quick visit around the Pongal Holidays. The trains were busy as the Sabari Mala piligrimage was on. Andhra has a lot of devotees of Ayyappa.
At Lady of Ransom, I had a quiet time, as always it refreshed me. But the question I asked myself was did I miss being at Lady of Ransom. Yes I did.
But on a bit of reasoning, if faith is for maintaining the connection with God and that oneness in God is the Kingdom of Heaven, how are we justified in associating a particular place, to favor our state of being.
We humans have our own preferences, but it is our challenge to adapt to the changing situation and maintain our equilibrium as long as the situation demands. One great learning lesson for me, especially when, I have struggled with the situation in many ways. Except for a few unfortunate occassion, by and large I could maintain myself emotionally.
That was my offering and thanks giving at Lady of Ransom.
